Great Suffering IN Montana Caused by the
Cold Weather Provisions and Fuel
Growing Scarce

Fort BENTON, M. T., Feb 1.-THE fuel
famine is becoming very serious, and if the
cold weather continues there must be more
suffering. The conditions of the roads and
weather are such that none can be brought
to town. Some citizens are cutting and
burning their fences, and several log
shacks and out-houses are being con-
yerted into fuel Coal can not be
purchased at any price. There is
none. Flour and coal-oil are scarce, there
not being enough in the city to last two
weeks. Merchants have been outstanding
these articles for some time, only selling
hem in small quantities.

INTERSTATE.
The Committee Listens to South
nrn Plea


- ern Plea.
p WASHINGTON, May Eff. B. Stahl-
man, third vice president of the Louis
vile Il Nashville railroad, appeared be-
fore the interstate commerce commission
to answer the statements made by Com
,smissioners Fink andGault, of the Queen
x Crescent route. He said if there was
any eXceftions anywhere oil this con-
tinent that called for relief under the
fourth section, the whole Southern Sys-
TEN of railroads was that exception.
sThe impression had been created that
the Louisville & Nashville wanted relief
-Sfrom the operation of the law as it af-
'e@fected every point i'll the country. AS
IL matter of fact, it sought relief at
Seventeen pointS,.aRd at fifteen of them
sthere was strong water competition.
As far as the traffic between Kentucky
points and Cincinnati was concerned.
Stahlman suggested that the effect of
the application of the law would be to
cause the railroad companies to open
depots at CovingtOn and Newport. oppo-
site Cincinnati, and maintain the
present competitive rates from these
:placeS to Frankfort and other Kentucky
sIointS. By elaborate statements of rates
'Stahlman sought to remove what he
-effect-th the Southern railroads had
deliberately gone to work to build up
an Alabama interest at the expense of
other sections of tile country. The rates
were fair and equitable and the people
were satisfied with them. He was not
aware that there was any necessity for
relief in the matter of pig iron rates at
points on his own line, but he did de-
sire relief in through traffic to New
York. The chairman suggested that
such an order would be futile, unless
THE OTHER CONNECTING ROADS
joined in the applications. Stahlman
replied that the Lake Erie & Western
was 50 situated that it could unite with
his road on a 81 rate to New York with
out violating the law Then YOU don't
waht the order?" remarked Commits
sioner Walker. Witness replied that his
road wanted the business and could not
make sure that the companies men-
toned would consent to unite on
satisfactory rates. The business
OF Birmingham would be crippled
if his road was. obliged to charge as
much to birmingham as to intermediate
points. The chairman inquired if COM
pllance with the request for suspension
OF the fourth section in the South would
not amount to a virtual notification of
the law in that section of the country.
he witness replied III the affirmative,
but maintained the necessity for such
suspension. Stahfman intimated that
the law was passed for political pur-
poses, and was rebuked by Commits
sioner Flagg for rejecting on the su-
preme >law-making power. The COM
mission has received petition from
the Missouri s. Illinois Tie and Timber
company of Cape Girardeau, Mo-, charg-
ing the Cape Girardeau u Southwestern
Railroad company with discriminating
against them in favor of L. J. Moss,
competitor, in the matter of furnishing
cars for the transportation of ties and
lumber to such degree as to give Moss
complete monopoly Of the railroad tie
and lumber business on the line of the
defendants roads.

HAS CAKES REsIGNED2
A Railroad Man Affirms That He
]. 4.

HaS---Other Gossip.
The fact that President Harris, of the
Ntrthern Pacific, and two of the di-
rectors of the same road are on their
way from New York renewed yesterday
all the reports and rumors heretofore
referred to in regard to changes to take
place in some of the principal positions
held on the road in st. Paul. Most of
he talk Yesterday centered around Mr..
Cakes. One railroad man asserted
that Notwithstanding that Mr.. Cakes
declared that he had not resigned, he
knew that he had sent his resignation
OH TO New York, but that it had not
been accepted up to the present time.
That was no sign it would not be ac-
cepted. President Harris was on his
way out to st. Paul, and if Mr.. Cakes
has any serious intention of resigning
ahere is reason to think he can
he accommodated. 1t is no doubt
t'ue that Mr.. Cakes has been granted a
leave of absence for several months to
recuperatc his impaired health. | have
heard that after sending forward his
resignation to New York he received
information by letter that his resigna-
ton was not accepted, and at the same
time giving him this leave of absence
referred to. That which seems strange

THE ST. PAUL & DULUTH ROAD.
1t Cuts an Important Figure in
Northwestern Rates.

II GUS an IllpOftont ISuTS III
Northwestern Rates.
The st. Paul & Duluth is very indie
pendent piece of road and may be COM
pared to the regulator of a watch. All
the roads between the Northwest and
the East are more or less controlled in
their rates during the summer by it.
All these roads are in trouble just now
about rates, and it must be confessed
that the way out of the difficulty seems
almost hopeless. The disease appears
10 be low rates. Low rates are about as
acceptable to the railroads as the small
poX is to the individual. Between the
Burlington II Northern and the st. Paul
x Duluth the other Chicago lines are in
very great Distress. The representa-
tiveS of the freight department of the
roads between Minneapolis and st. Paul
held meeting yesterday III ST. Paul to
see what could be done to relieve the
roads of the impending disaster OF Il
freight war. They conferred with
President Fisher. of the St. Paul Il Du-
luth in regard to the matter, but no re-
roads had related their grievances Mr..
Fisher informed the gentlemen who
waited upon him in the interests
of the roads that the st. Paul d Duluth
road would be run wholly independent
of any agreement with any of the Chi
cagO roads. He further said that under
the laws of the land all roads must make
an open and public rate, and this being
the case there could be no difficulty
whatever in all the Chicago roads learn
ing what the rates of the st. Paul Il Du-
luth are and copying them so far as they
desired This ended the whole matter
and cut off all further controversy. and
&C. Boyden, of the Milwaukee road,
notified the commissioners of the North
western freight bureau at Chicago that
an effort had been made to come to an
agreement with the st. Paul Il Duluth
road. but that it had proved wholly
futile. and that there was no possible
chance for any agreement to be made
with it. ALL therefore. depends upon
the action of the general managers Next
Tuesday as TO whether rates can be
maintained, or some compromise made
by which serious rupture can be
avoided

to me is that if there is such a fight as is
represented between Mr. Cakes and Mr..
Harris. the latter did not have the
resignation accepted then aud there and
thus hal the trouble ended Mfr. Harris
may not have been strong enough in the
board to secure the removal of Mr..
Cakes, but when the latter
RENDERED HIS RESIGNATION,
as / know he did, Mr.. Harris certainly
ought to have been strong enough to
have it accepted at once. / have 10
doubt whatever that it is the Intention
to make some changes here by June l.
What these cha geS will be, or how
numerous, of course it is impossible to
tell. Why, do you know Cakes has
been rendered the presidency of the
Milwaukee Il st. Paul road? Even this
is denied, but l know it to be true. He
would make dandy president. He.is
young, vigorous, Tor will be when he re-
cuperates his health during his leave of
abSence), and good executive officer
| doubt if they can find his equal. |
know very well that the Milwaukee &
st. Paul declares that it does not need
to go out of its own ranks for a man,
but what does that signify? That's the
circumstances. They all know better.
| do not say that Mr.. Cakes is a better
man for the position than any in the
employ of the Milwaukee d ST. Paul.
That would be very bold assertion.
1t is not necessary to go SO far as that.
| know he is a very able man, and |
should not hesitate to say that believe
he would take hold of the Milwaukee Il
st. Paul and manage it successfully, to
the advantage of the stockholders and
the satisfaction of the public
OTHER GOSSIP.
Another railroad man undertook to
explain matters. and in doing so said
with the company by which the latter
was bound to keep him till the time of
contract expired. The road could not
get rid of Mr.. Cakes, no
matter how much it wanted
to, before the contract expired"
An officer of the Northern Pacific was
inquired of i'll regard to this and de-
clared it to be a great mistake. Il know
Mr.. Cakes views upon this point" he
said, for | have talked with him upon
the subject. Some years ago, when an
officer of road claimed the benefit of
such contract, Mr.. Cakes denounced
the idea, and in a way that left no room
to doubt as to his views.c>Possibly Mr..
Cakes may have been rendered the
presidency of the Milwaukee d St.
Paul. 1t has also been rum0red that
he was going to the Chicago, Burling-
ton Il Quincy and also to the Union
Pacific. | do not know but he has been
so invited. If so | should not deem it
very diScreditable to him or anything
for which he deserved to be hung"

Chips From the Ties.

The Northern Pacific and operated lines
adopted the following rates on stock: cattle,
sheep or horses, east bound. in lots of ten
cars or more. between all stations west of the
Missouri river and east of the Cascade noun
tains: One hundred and fifty miles or less,
20 cents per car per mile, but not less than
$50 per car unless distance tariff for short
distance makes less. Over $50 miles not
over $50 miles, ID cents per car per mile, but
notles than $50 per car. Over $50 miles
not over 800, 10 cents per car pefe4nile, but
10 cents per car per mile, but net less than
$40 per car. Native horses will be trans
ported at the rate of SIS per car higher than
that provided for cattle.
Two cars of lemons were received in st.
Paul from New York YESTERDAY. They came
through from New York in lime and one
half days by rail and lake, and were as fresh
as though they had not been transported
more than ten miles. They went by rail-to
Buffalo and by lake and rail to ST. Paul eBy
sending them by this route the shipper saved
S1O0in freight on each car. 's'
The Milwaukee & st. Paul gives notice that
the line from Manila to Sioux City is com
pleted. and although no regular trains will
be run at present the road is prepared to ac-
cept and forward on construction trains all
carload freight except live stock to and from
stations on that line.

between st. Paul, Minneapolis. Minnesota

shipments of stock cattle, in carloads be-
tween stations in Minnesota, Dakota and
Iowa, except on the Chicago e. Council Bluffs
division, will be charged rs per cent. of the
